Books of the Bible
The "New Testament" is where the majority of the Church Age doctrine is taught. Much of the meaning of the epistles was lost in the translation from the original manuscripts. This requires readers to study deeply the meaning of each epistle in the context of the time in which it was written.
Below are the notes and thoughts of one serious student of the Word. His personal study covers all of the New Testament and over much of the Old Testament.
The epistles are grouped by human author. The approximate date and other information is provided when taught.
The gospels of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ come next.
The Old Testment books are listed last and are grouped into the traditional Jewish divisions.
Finally, some of the interesting facts like the geneology of the family of Jesus Christ can be seen by clicking HERE.

Note: Malachi is the last book of the Old Testament and the
last word of the book is "cherem" (cursed).
Mankind continues to be under the curse of Adam with no
hope of redemption for the next 400 years.
The New Testament opens with the herald announcing the
arrival of the King. It is through the free
will sacrifice of
this King (Who is also our Redeemer) on the cross that will
allow for mankind to come out from under the curse.
The New Testament and the Bible is closed with Revelation
22:21 which instead of a curse, is a blessing: "The grace
of our Lord Jesus . . . {be} with all of you. Amen/'I believe
it' {amen}."
